Has COVID made you think differently about life?
Now deciding to retire early?
Change of career?
New hobby?
Has it changed you in any way

Re: Has COVID made you think differently about life?

It's not changed me but it has reinforced how important family is.
Hobby wise, I've dusted off my classical guitar and am trying to learn a few new pieces. As with all my guitars, I wish I could afford to upgrade them.

And people stayed at home
And read books
And listened
And they rested
And did exercises
And made art and played
And learned new ways of doing things
And stopped and listened more deeply
Some meditated, some prayed, and some met their shadow
And people began to think differently
And people healed
And in the absence of people who lived in ignorant ways, dangerous, meaningless and heartless the earth began to heal
And when the danger ended and people found themselves they grieved for the dead
And made new choices
And dreamed of new visions
And created new ways of living
And completely healed the earth just as they were healed
.......A popular poem in the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1920
20 Years later we are kicking the s... out of each other in WW2
No I don't think things will change post Covid

Re: Has COVID made you think differently about life?
I am now hell bent on getting rid of the only debt I have, and the one that could screw me over, my mortgage. If that then enables me to retire early, I will do exactly that - maybe go from the stresses of my job to a less stressful job.

Lovely poem. Not sure if it's Spanish or not? Sadly 16 years later Spain was embroiled in a civil war, which was persecutor to the 2nd WW. General Franco and his fascist Falange party aided and abetted by the Nazis trampling all over the working class, socialists and anarchists. I can thoroughly recommend George Orwell's (surely the best ever British author?) take on the war, in his 'Homage To Catalonia'.
